Well, I thought I'd revisit this thread and post what I've learned...
The first thing is that being polite & well mannered doesn't seem to be the right approach! Tried that and have either been ignored or blocked! I guess I should know better as this is a site for more than just a chat, eh!
I have been on the social that I went to below...was a bit unsure what to expect, all the people were fine...but it struck me that they'd all been doing this a lot longer than me, and a few of them seemed to already know each other, so I felt a bit like a fifth wheel, so thought I'd instead see how meeting people one on one would go instead.
So onto the one to ones...I've met three people from here...one had already met someone else, but we still met for a coffee, but that's as far as it went. The next one was with someone who actually came around to my house, but it wasn't really for me in the end, and we parted amicably. The 3rd was again after a bit of chat beforehand, and they came around to my house again (not something I really wanted do on the first meet, but they seemed keen enough to do this), but they then messaged me beforehand to say that it was a social only (I had no expectations prior to this so that was fine). They then obviously didn't want it to go any further, made their excuses & left, which I was again fine with...and then they blocked me, which I guess was their way of saying thanks but no thanks! Again, as a newbie, I'm beginning to learn not to take this personally!
Moving on to recently and the last conversation I had again, things seemed to be going okay...then off to block city again! Again, I understand that this is way it seems to work on here, but it just seemed a bit abrupt to me without any explanation.
So that's my experiences on here so far...and my membership expires as a gold member in a couple of weeks, so I'll go away and have a think about things and maybe be back at some future point.
I understand that we're all looking for something on here, and that you may not want to continue with what you've started...maybe I've just expected things to be a bit more, I dunno...polite. But again, that's not really what we're here for I guess!
And don't get me wrong...I'm not having a go at anyone on here. I'm still learning the ropes, and will persevere! Just need to have a break from it all for awhile! |
Cam veri's are ok but in general they are not highly thought of. If you want one then go in the chat room for your region, show your face, be dressed and chat with people. Not about sex straight away either. And don't ask for the veri.
We've got a London social on April 2nd if you're still looking by then.
You seem smart and polite so you'll do well with time & effort
